As many of the people here stated, the pillion seat on the Classic is too small for traveling long distances with a passenger. On my Classic EFI the pillion seat was fitted when I bought the Classic new from the dealer but after the first 50 km I decided to find a better solution. One requirement was not to have to modify the frame or any other part of the motorcycle and use original factory parts to keep the appearance of the motorcycle.
After some investigations, what was available and what would fit I decided to mount an original driver's seat for the passenger instead of the pillion. As no modifications were "allowed" for the frame or the seat itself, I made an adapter plate and two brackets to fasten the second driver's seat to the original detachable pillion mounting frame. All fist easily and the seat is very comfortable for the passenger. I will attach some photos of the construction.
On the eighth day, God created Harley-Davidson.
And he saw that it was a shit.
